Historic Cabin by Bourbon Trail

Historic, unique, tasteful and serene - the Edward Tyler house, ca. 1783, is a stone cabin 20 minutes SE of Louisville on 13 acre estate. Near the famous bourbon trail, rental includes full cabin and large screen porch overlooking pond with fountain. First floor has living/dining/kitchen space with small sofa bed and stone fireplace (gas); queen bed and full bath on second floor. American and European antique furnishings and fine art welcome you to fully updated home with central HVAC. The space Cabin was originally built in the late 1700s and has been updated to modern standards (electric, plumbing, HVAC) yet retains original features including stone walls, large wooden beams and original yellow poplar floors. Typical of structures of this vintage and to preserve space, the stairway to the second floor is steeper and more narrow than todays standard size; anyone uneasy with non-uniform stairs should take note. Height of doorways are also shorter than today's standards. In total, the cabin is approximately 620 sq. ft., plus another 240 sq. ft. in the attached screened porch (860 sq. ft. in total). Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits within the larger Tyler Settlement Rural Historic District, also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property has been featured several times, including a November 30, 2023 article in the Courier Journal newspaper. Guest access Guests will have full use of the cabin and attached screened porch (14' x 17'). Additionally, guests have access to the lawn area behind the cabin, and can also enjoy sitting by the pond (no fishing please). The cabin rental is limited to two (2) guests; if you desire to have an addition guest you will need to get approval from the host beforehand, and additional guest fee will apply. Cabin is accessed from brick terrace that adjoins both the cabin and the main house, and leads to a stone walkway to cabin door. Please note the stone in the walkway is natural formation, not uniform cut stone (see photos). Other things to note Driveway provides access to both the main house and the stone cabin, so guests will access the property through the main driveway and park by the garage. The distance between the driveway and the cabin front door is approximately 60 feet. Guests will be provided access code to the driveway gate and to the cabin door lock approximately two (2) days prior to arrival. Driveway is composed of crushed limestone with stone curbing, so host requests that guests make sure to stay on the limestone surface, and stay off the stone curbing.
